Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says the Gaza-based terror group Hamas carried out a missile test last night.

“Hamas carried out a missile test and fired three rockets toward the [Mediterranean] sea,” says Liberman at a faction meeting of his Yisrael Beytenu party. “This proves that despite the humanitarian situation in the Strip and lack of basic goods, [Hamas] continues to produce and test rockets.”

Liberman says the budget of the terror group’s armed wing was $260 million last year, all of which he said was put into producing missiles and digging tunnels.

Addressing the tunnel threat, Liberman says: “I assume that by the end of 2018 we’ll succeed in eradicating the phenomenon of Hamas’ attack tunneling.”
